Five New

Aug 28, 2025

Seems like I’ve been a little scritchy lately. Happy, too with some words and new art.

….

A Gift Inscription

I made this and
left it here.
For you.

You can leave
it here, move it,
keep it, or give
it away.

No one
needs
to know.

…

Stick Figure Ballet

You
drawing straight lines,
between the stars in
your personal sky.

You
connecting
so many of
the dots.

You
being amazed to
discover animation
as if you invented it.

You
look at
you go
now

…

Engraving

You may be surprised
to decode the language
indicated by the symbols

you scratch deep in the
cave of yourself. There
is a river deep down.

Find a comfortable spot.
Listen to it.
Watch.

…

The One Path Way #1

The one way is
how it turns out.
It is what’s happening.

It happens. The one way.
Imagery is wonderful
until it obstructs the way.

Never mind imagination;
the should, the can’t, the
chants of I am or not am.

What actually happens?
That may simplify things
and free up some being.

Watch and see
for your
self.

…

The One Path Way #2

Red lentils; a most
forgiving palette.

Imagination resembles
an aromatic spice pack.

That batch a combination
of your own design,

based on what’s available
in the cupboard.

And … reality … is still
a pot of beans.

You think you could do it
otherwise. Maybe next time.

Good
luck.
